- Indicative phases:
- Originate & assess: 4–8 weeks
- Site & grid studies: 2–4 months
- Offtake & PPA: 2–6 months (parallel)
- Permitting & registration: 3–9 months
- Build (EPC): 6–18 months by scale
- Commission & operate: ongoing
Mining and utility-scale projects at the upper end. Honest caveat: grid connection approval is often the longest pole in the tent.
